It was you that showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand for what I know is real
I was sick of all the pain, tired of all the shame that I felt
But you showed me a way, to never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself

Now I see

It was you that showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand for what I know is real
Now I'm breathing for the first time
And I'm leaving all this behind
I've [bad word] what I am because of you
It was you

I'm so sorry about the ways
But I can't take away my past but you love me anyway
And now I wanna do everything for you that I can
Even though it won't erase the foolish things that I've done
Things that blinded me

But now I see

It was you that showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand for what I know is real
Now I'm breathing for the first time
And I'm leaving all this behind
And I'll stand for what I know is real

So how can I make this up to you
I'll fight and I'll push and I'll strive
Now that I'm living my life for you
I'll fight and I'll push and I'll strive

Can't you see

It was you that showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand for what I know is real
Now I'm breathing for the first time
And I'm leaving all this behind
I've [bad word] what I am because of you

I can see the writing on the wall
As time begins to crawl away from me
And I've [bad word] what I am because of you
It was you
